Newly release body camera video shows the intense moment an Irvine police officer fatally shot a suspect accused of stabbing a paralyzed man to death .
John Alexander Bash III, a 38-year-old man confined to a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury, was killed in his own home on Whistling Swan Aug. 5, police said.
An Irvine police officer later fatally shot the suspect, 47-year-old Aaron Matthew Shindle, during a confrontation.
Surveillance video shows Shindle crash a minivan into Bash’s home and then break into the residence. Shindle bursts into Bash’s bedroom and brutally stabs the defenseless victim to death.
Bash’s caregiver frantically called 911 for help after hearing the commotion.
“This is like a murder scene. Oh my God!” the caregiver said in the 911 call released by police. “I don’t know what to do.”
Police rushed to the scene to find Shindle’s van partially inside the house.
A search is launched and Shindle is found about an hour later at Stonecreek South and West Yale Loop.
